Saks Afridi

20 April - 8 October 2023

As part of the exhibition Science Fiction(s) - If There Were a Tomorrow, Weltmuseum Wien presents the work SpaceMosque by Pakistani-American artist Saks Afridi in the Theseus Temple at Volksgarten. A spaceship minaret floats in the center of the temple. In his speculative narrative, Saks Afridi asks the question, What if all prayers were answered? Would the world be better or just our own lives?

In his story that looks back to the recent past, all prayers come true after the appearance of the spaceship. To people, the object appears in different forms according to their beliefs: As a church, temple, synagogue, mosque or a ray of light.

Saks Afridi was born in Peshawar and lives in New York. He describes his work as Sci-Fi Sufism in which he combines story telling with Islamic mysticism.

An exhibition in the context of Science Fiction(s) - If there were a tomorrow at Weltmuseum Wien.
